What is your configuration in the MAIL tab?
I have the same issue …
and it seems to be recent (up until recently – the form worked fine … and I have not made changes to the form, configuration or my email addresses for 2 years!) …
perhaps this is a new bug due to a wordpress update or contact 7 plugin update?
as of today – contact 7 no longer sends me emails…and
as the OP states …
Contact Form 7 says 1 configuration error found.
with no other indication as to what is wrong.
Again – I will state – the contact form remains unchanged since I first set it up 2 years ago (nor have the email setup changed).

I took a screen shot of it but not sure how to share it here.

In your FORM tab are the fields required (*)? For example:
[text* your-name]
[email* your-email]
[text* your-subject]
[text* your-message]
@barnez
Here is what my form tab shows
<p>Your Name (required)
[text* your-name] </p>
<p>Your Email (required)
[email* your-email] </p>
<p>Subject
[text your-subject] </p>
<p>Your Message
[textarea your-message] </p>
<p>[submit “Send”]</p>
OK. One of the new requirements is for there to *always* be some text in the SUBJECT field so it cannot be left empty and spam-like. Therefore, either make your subject mail-tag required in the FORM:
[text* your-subject]
Or, add some permanent text to the SUBJECT field in the MAIL tab. For example:
SUBJECT: Re: [your-subject]
Now it should validate ….
@barnez
You’re a genius! Thank you.
@cjcornell2 . . . add “Re:” in front of [your subject] on the mail tab. #BOOM #PrombleSolved
@nashvilleamber
Happy to hear that did the trick š
thanks @barnez
awesome! i add the “*” to the fild and it solved the problem!
[text* your-subject] is the perfect solution!
one question if i add the “*” to the textarea will it make it an required fild?
can i write this [textarea* your-message]?
thanks!
@vizcano
can i write this [textarea* your-message]?
Yes, you can make any field required.
